The focus of the site is on short video clips (&lt;10 minutes), but videos may be up to one hour in length. The site also includes comment sections for all videos, a blog, assignments, video-related scholarship on teaching and learning, and a form to submit new video clips to the site.Tue, 12 Oct 2010 13:39:10 -0700The Active Learning Site with VARK Learning Styles Inventoryhttp://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=90820

This case study explores the use of new media and online content in U.S. classrooms of higher education through an examination of the internet journal,Southern Spaces. We argue that Southern Spaces provides a forum for innovative scholarship and provides for unique teaching opportunities by taking advantage of the internet's capabilities to deliver audio, video, interactive imagery, and text in a rapid and timely fashion while also facilitating new ways of organizing, presenting, and updating research. Our case study offers a detailed overview of the philosophies behind Southern Spaces, three examples featuring Southern Spaces in the classroom and a brief discussion of pedagogical implications for the website.Tue, 13 May 2014 16:21:55 -0700Leading Online Learning Through Collaborationhttp://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=860792
The purpose of this paper is to describe the evolution, activities, and benefits of the Faculty Online Teaching and Learning Community at Western CarolinaUniversity (WCU). The university itself has become a national leader in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning with its annual Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Faire (this year drew attendees from 23 different higher education institutions) and with its international referred journal Mountainrise. In addition, WCU has seen rapid growth in online programs as well as the need for faculty preparation for digital instruction. The Faculty Online Teaching and Learning Community represents one strategy for such preparation. The authors review the literature on faculty support for training and professional development for online teaching as well as the literature on faculty learning communities. They describe the grassroots development of the learning community and its development as a formal group. Included are descriptions of the group's involvement in new faculty orientation; the transition to a new course management system; strategies that have evolved from the group such as peer-to-peer feedback; the use of voice technology, and the creation of virtual learning environments; the transfer of the group's experience to other collaborations; and the mentoring and support for untenured faculty in the group.

This experimental site introduces visitors to some of the three million objects held by the National Museum of American History, Behring Center. Visitors select the objects that interest them; curators explain the items' significance. Like an actual tour at the Museum, information is presented conversationally and is backed by the impeccable scholarship of Smithsonian curators. And, like a real museum experience, visitors can share with others their enthusiasm (or lack thereof) about what they see and learn.Thu, 20 Mar 2008 21:56:45 -0700YouTube across the Disciplines: A Review of the Literaturehttp://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=878465
YouTube has grown to become the largest and most highly visited online video-sharing service, and interest in the educational use of YouTube has become apparent. Paralleling the rise of academic interest in YouTube is the emergence of YouTube scholarship. This article presents the results of a review of 188 peer reviewed journal articles and conference papers with "YouTube" in the title that were published between 2006 and 2009. Four questions were answered through the review of YouTube literature : (1) What is the overall distribution of publication activity for refereed journal articles and conference papers with "YouTube" in the title? (2) How are publications with "YouTube" in the title distributed across academic disciplines? (3) What have scholars writ ten about instructional methodologies involving YouTube in a sample of literature containing "YouTube" in the title ? (4) What have scholars reported about the results of studies involving YouTube in a sample of literature containing "YouTube" in the title ? An analysis of the publications revealed that the literature emerged from multiple academic disciplines. The sample of literature included 39 articles and papers describing methods for teaching with YouTube. A total of 99 articles and papers containing the results of research studies were identified and categorized. This literature review is particularly relevant to those online educators who are interested in learning what scholars from their own academic disciplines are writing about YouTube . An emphasis is placed on trends in teaching and research discussed in the sampled literature .Wed, 16 Jul 2014 15:25:44 -0700Periodicals in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SOTL)http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=81625

Expansion of online teaching and learning has fostered the creation of numerous standards and frameworks to evaluate and promote quality in online instruction and learning. Review of these standards showed that there is consistency in indicators of quality for online programs. One indicator, student support, was selected for study. Quality frameworks were reviewed to determine if student support was included among the indicators. Then, to examine the inclusion of student support services within a real-world context, a case was selected for observation and illustration. Examination of the case showed that faculty and administrators had designed and were delivering critical student support services. Both new and existing support systems were needed and provided. This case indicated a primary need and provisions for student support in the following areas: admissions and registration, advising, orientation, learning support, scholarships and awards, library resources, computing and technology resources, articulation with other institutions, career placement, and communication.Wed, 16 Jul 2014 15:31:16 -0700Bibliography of Books on College Teachinghttp://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=87643

In order for the efforts of scholarly teaching to be recognized, the work must become public and presented to peers for review. Scholarship of Teaching is not only improving instruction and learning but also methodically assessing whether specific teaching interventions have had the desired effect. In this paper, the author presents a step-by-step guide for how to develop a Scholarship of Teaching project that is well thought out and worthy of publication. Factors to consider before performing such pedagogical research include developing a clear research hypothesis for the classroom, reviewing the background literature, obtaining Institutional Review Board (Human Subjects) approval, and determining which methods of assessment may be used. This "how to" guide discusses how to handle all of these factors and prepare the data for publication and introduces the reader to references related to the Scholarship of Teaching and learning as well as educational research and theory. A list of journals appropriate for publishing biomedical education research is provided.Fri, 19 May 2006 00:00:00 -0700
